Who?
Hi, I'm Shaun. A Jamaican-British copywriter, with a background in acting, screenwriting and music. Basically, if you get on my nerves I'll sing at you.
As a screenwriter for the likes of Idris Elba, Gaumont UK, The Forge and Bad Flamingo, I've interviewed centigenerian freedom fighters, Gen Z sex workers, and classical music child prodigies.
My hobbies include hosting innovative Sauna Sound Baths, performing comedy improv and learning gymnastics... Flippin' 'eck indeed.
An alumnus of M & C Saatchi’s 2020 Open House scheme (which reached 1,500 people across the world), I was one of six to be given a permanent role - the only creative hired.
As a Creative at M & C Saatchi, I worked on campaigns for both UK and international brands and organisations.
In my first year I got a TVC onto Ad of the day, an article into The Drum and the London Vegetable Orchestra into the M & C Saatchi agency Christmas card. 🥕
But that was then.
Right now, whether the brief is serious, sultry or silly, I'm all about making work that makes sense.
Words and ideas that entertain, provoke and appeal to our joint humanity.
So?
